Reborn and married to uncle, husband and wife teamed up to abuse scum.

Today Tang Mo still had to go to Tang Yong's residence. After chatting with Xin An for a few words, he went to find his mother with his private money. When Wang learned that he wanted to help Tang Yaoming, she agreed and prepared a few things for him to take with him. "Although the old lady doesn't stop us from visiting, we can't make a big fuss. You can add some as you like, and don't be impolite."

Tang Mo agreed and turned to leave. Wang looked at his back and smiled with relief, thinking that the one in Chunhua Courtyard was still "recuperating", and she, as a mother-in-law, should go and visit him.

In Qiushi Courtyard, Xin An rested for a while and asked Chunyang to bring Nanfeng to her. "Did you hear everything?"

Nan Feng knelt before her in despair. Xin An put down the teacup and said, "Second Master asked me to find someone for you. I see that you are well-born. Your hands are as well-kept as those of a lady from a rich family. I heard that you can even read and write. It would be a pity if you find someone to marry you to a groom."

Nanfeng was terrified. She was just a maid bought by the mansion. It was only with the grace of the lady in the past few years that she had the opportunity to learn a few words. Her name was changed from Chunhua to Nanfeng, just for the purpose of serving the Second Young Master better in his courtyard.

She thought she would be like Yingyue Xueyu next door, but the Second Young Master was reluctant to accept her, and the Second Young Master's wife came again. She was worried that the Second Young Master's wife would not accept her, so she was anxious to stay.

If she couldn't serve in Qiushiyuan, where should she go?

There was a groom in the mansion who would beat his wife with a whip whenever he was unhappy. If she was treated like that...

"Please have mercy, Madam Second Young Master."

Xin An said, "What did your mother say when she asked you to serve the Second Young Master?"

Nan Feng kowtowed, "Let this servant serve the Second Young Master wholeheartedly."

"Nanfeng, the word 'serve' doesn't just mean serving in bed. Is it possible that you misunderstood what mother meant?"

Nan Feng was in a trance for a while, and Xin An spoke slowly, "You are handsome, careful and smart. I think everyone in this courtyard trusts you. You arrange things in an orderly manner. You have your own abilities, so you can be a manager. Sharing the worries of the Second Young Master is also a kind of service. Why do you insist on being a concubine?"

"Your second son is the legitimate son of the Marquis's family. He will go to the Northern Army for training. With this status, you can only be a maid, just like Yingyue and Xueyu next door. Is this what you pursue?"

Nanfeng was very confused. She naturally didn't want to be a maid, but it was not up to her to decide whether to be a concubine or not. As a maid, she had no choice.

Unexpectedly, she met Xin An's gaze and kowtowed hurriedly, "I don't want to be a maid, it's the devil that has bewitched me, I beg the Second Young Master's Madam to give me some advice."

Xin An didn't beat around the bush. "Then follow me. You will continue to serve in Chunhua Courtyard. I will arrange other tasks for you. I will talk to the Second Young Master."

Nan Feng was delighted and kowtowed again, "Thank you, Madam Second Young Master. From today on, I am your maid and will do my best to share your worries. If I betray you, I will be struck by lightning."

Xin An chuckled, "Get up."

"As long as you do your job well, I will treat you well. When the time is right, I will find you a reliable and respectable marriage, so that you can be the wife of a glorious wife and live a respectable life."

Just a moment ago, she was worried that she would be betrothed to the groom, but suddenly everything turned out fine. Nan Feng cried, and this time her tears were filled with joy. "Thank you, Madam Second Young Master."

Xin An instructed Chun Yang, "Find her two suitable hairpins and earrings, and pick out a piece of fabric to make her clothes. From now on, she will serve me, so you should teach her some rules."

Chunyang nodded, and Xin An instructed Nanfeng again, "Chunyang and the others just came to the Marquis' Mansion with me, and they don't know a lot of things. You should talk to them carefully."

"The people in the backyard are under the management of Aunt Wang. You will assist her."

Nanfeng agreed hastily, and then followed Chunyang out the door. Aunt Wang stayed behind, "Is this Nanfeng reliable?"

Xin An leaned back and said, "She is just a girl who has rarely been out of the Marquis' Mansion. She thinks that serving the master means serving him in bed. She is just worried that if she can't serve him, he will abandon her, or that I can't tolerate her. That's why she is so anxious to clarify her identity."

"Besides, she was sent by my mother, so she must have been carefully selected and specially sent to learn to read. These past few days I've seen that she is a smart person, not ostentatious and efficient. Wouldn't it be a pity to just send her away like this? It would be hard to explain to my mother, and those who don't know would think that I'm jealous and can't tolerate her."

"You have seen the situation in the Marquis' Mansion. I have some dowry but I can't just sit there and do nothing. I want to do some business and need someone to help me out. She is quite suitable."

Aunt Wang felt that Xin An overestimated Nan Feng. "Just because she can read?"

“Being able to read doesn’t mean you can do business.”

"Who said she was allowed to do business?"

Xin An felt dry in the mouth, "I want to eat a bowl of Tremella soup to moisten my lungs."

"I'll have someone prepare it right away."

In Aunt Wang’s eyes, what Xin An wants to eat and drink is a big deal, more important than anything else.

As soon as Aunt Wang left, Chunlu came. Xin An yawned, hurried forward to help her lie down on the soft couch, and took off her shoes considerately, "You got up too early in the morning, take a nap."

Then she took off all the hairpins on her head and let her lie more comfortably. "I haven't massaged the young lady's legs for a long time. Why don't you try to see if my skills have become rusty now?"

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Chunlu."

Xin An felt that days like this were becoming more and more addictive. In the past, he had to be careful about his manners in front of Tang Rong, and he had never sat comfortably in his entire life. It was nowhere near as comfortable and relaxed as it was now.

As for whether Tang Mo would mind?

He himself had no manners at all in the room, slumped in the chair like a sour cabbage, and yet he despised her?

At this time, the sauerkraut had already arrived at Tang Yong's house. Tang Yong was very surprised to see him. You know, the people in the Marquis' Mansion rarely step into it once a year.

"Please come in, Second Young Master."

Tang Mo said cheerfully, "You can call me Second Uncle or Mo Boy, but please don't call me in such a distant way."

Tang Yong was even more unsure of his intention, and after thinking about it he decided to call him Xiao Mo. He remembered that this kid used to have the nickname 'Shun Shun', but he didn't allow people to call him that when he was a little older.

After entering the house and sitting down, Tang Mo smiled and broke the awkwardness, "Second Uncle probably knows something about the affairs in the mansion. On the day of the tea ceremony, he was preoccupied with other things and failed to entertain Second Uncle properly. You and Second Aunt left without even eating. My mother complained about it twice afterwards. It was really impolite."

"I came here today to apologize, and also to ask about cousin Yao Ming's situation and whether I can help."

He brought a lot of apology gifts, which were piled up on the table like a small mountain. Tang Yong waved his hands repeatedly, "You had things to deal with that day, and it was not convenient for your second aunt and I to stay there. It's just a meal, can't we eat it anytime?"

He didn't dare to stay because the old lady didn't like it. This was an open secret, and everyone knew it tacitly. "You brought so many things with you. Take them back later. There's no need for us to be so polite."
